On Sunday (3/21) around 7pm, my friend and I were in line outside the Trader Joes on 14th when a tall man with kind eyes (long dark curly hair) stopped me and very nicely asked me if he could ever buy me coffee. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Missed connection at Streets Market at 13th and Mass Ave, NW on Saturday, March 13th around 4:30pm. I arrived at the store as the same time as this guy that, although he got there first, held the door open for me like a gentlemen.
He was wearing a grey sweatshirt, black joggers and white sneakers. I’m guessing he’s a little over six foot.
We were in line at the checkout at the same time too – I was purchasing wine, he appeared to be going the healthier route with fruit.
If you see this and want to have a picnic of wine and fruit in the park, let me know.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was walking my puppy with my friend at the Washington Monument Friday (2/26) around 4pm and a cute guy came up to us with his white terrier pup Benji. My dog was petrified but Benji was adorable and so sweet. If you’re the 6 foot-ish., blonde man that was wearing a blue jacket I’d love to meet up again w our pups!”

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection on Sunday, February 14 (yes… Valentine’s Day). I (man, late 20s) was in line at Lost City Books around 2 PM and was contemplating which Don Dellio book I should buy. I turned to you to ask if you’d read either. You said no, but you thought you remembered your friend really liking one of them, so I bought that one. (more…)

I was taking a walk through Rock Creek Cemetery on the evening of Friday, February 5 and was surprised to see a handsome stranger in a baseball cap and black leather jacket also walking alone. I was going to pass by when he stopped to ask me a question. (more…)
